hacker using my email address to send out business info

[todd]

hi! someone is using my email address to send out business info. Myself & those on my contact list are receiving hundreds of emails a day from ***@mail.hotmail.com showing delivery status notification. i really hope this can be prevented. Looking forward to hearing from you soon

I just found out that they are doing the same with my hotmail address. I was quite shocked to find my own email address sending out some weird emails to the others...can someone help please....

There's nothing you can do. It is a common spammer tactic - using a forged From
address harvested from the web, newsgroups, or someone else's address book.
